State of Survival: Survival of the Fittest - Event guide (now with a video-guide!)

Survival of the Fittest is a bi-weekly event with different objectives on each day. In this guide, I will try to share some tips about maximizing your points while investing your resources smartly. The guide is intended both for F2P and P2P players.

Version history:
1.2 - 28/09/2020 - Major changes due to new T4/T5 Heroes released.
1.1 - 14/09/2020 - Updates to the Tier 1 (Nikola) & Tier 4 (Jarrett), minor cosmetic changes;
1.0 - 06/07/2020 - Guide created.

Video guide

Depending on your state age and evolution (you start with Tier 1 heroes – i.e. Nikola, continue with Tier 2 – i.e. Wolfe and finally Tier 3 – i.e. Zoe) daily objectives might be slightly different. Make sure you look into the correct section to find objectives for your state.

Please remember one thing: the SoS developers ~~hobby~~ like to change daily objectives quite often (they’ve done that over 5 times for the past 2 months!). When you notice a mistake, kindly point it out in the comments and I will correct it ASAP. Thanks!

Reply to imdiyas

Yes, I’m trying to aggregate all changes and update asap but it’s becoming quite tricky if they gonna do that every 2 weeks 🙁

Reply to Serhiy Botulidze

Yeah, If they change it for every two weeks then it’s hard to plan

Veejay

atm im in state 337 and the 4th day was Infected Stage, its not gathering. its for nikola

Zoltan

LOL they changed the event? On tier2, day 2 there are no rss gathering but speedups again.

Reply to Zoltan

Unfortunately, they did.

At this stage, I’m not sure if updating the guide retrospectively makes sense – developers can change it again in 2 weeks.

springbok7

They have made tier 4 requirement for tier 2 event. We have wolfe frags as prizes in state 253, but reqs are tier 4. sigh. They need to leave gathering as an option, longer! greedy!

Reply to springbok7

The same thing with Tier 1 (Nikola) – requirements were increased, getting 4.6k biocaps reward requires to train troops for 18 mln (!) points. Unbelievable!

i think the troop reqs are tied to your base…? On 253 one base had 23.8M for final troop training level and other one had something like 12M. One has T8 the other T6 troops.

AND they have replaced stage 4 wilderness risk|hero power up with chief gear/research timers only. ::facepalm:: no ray spins, no nothin! grr

guy

Settlement evolution Jarrett has errors. 1500 per min of speed up and not per power increase

Sune Tristan Sommer

Typed in wrong, sorry. See above question?

Prosperity, how much prosperity is needed to start constructing the different levels of hq’s??

Reply to Sune Tristan Sommer

Hey, it is already covered in the hq/building requirements guide 😉 check it out here: State of Survival: HQ and other buildings upgrade requirements (now with a video-guide!) | ZE Gaming Club

is there any way to get free biocaps?

Hector

Reply to Don

Other than all the ways in-game? Doing events, doing infected rallies, Hunt the hunter event, etc.,…?

Tier X seems to be valid with the next gen of Heroes; however, you haven’t included points for Tier 11 troops at 3,713. This effects day 4 and day 6

Same question: What is the multiplier for troop upgrade? Is it BP difference * Number of Troops Upgraded * Point Difference between 2 Tiers?
